How are your Boxwood doing?

Box Tree Moth (BTM) populations have exploded in the past few weeks, and we are seeing lots of affected Boxwoods in the Centerville/Kettering/Springboro area. The larvae of BTM can defoliate Boxwood in just a matter of days. If they do become defoliated, and they dont die, they will need to be cut back to 6-24 inches and will require a couple of seasons before they regain their size and shape. Early detection and prompt action are crucial to saving your Boxwood. Your preferred hardware store or garden center will have an appropriate insecticide for controlling caterpillars, such as Eight or BT(K). Grass Monkey has been monitoring the developing BTM situation for the past couple of seasons and we are prepared to help. Whether that is by chemical control with follow up applications and seasonally appropriate pruning, or by removal and replacement. Give us a call or send us an email if you need one of our Landscape Professionals to come take a look at your Boxwood.

The Story Behind Grass Monkey LLC 🐒🌱

Ever wonder how Grass Monkey LLC got its name? Here’s a little backstory to brighten your day!

When the company started, we wanted a name that was creative, memorable, and not tied to one individual—something that reflected the hard work and dedication of the entire team. Sure, we could have gone with something like “Eric’s Landscaping” or “Lambert’s Lawn Care,” but those felt, well… lazy. Grass Monkey was born out of a desire to stand out and celebrate the collective effort that makes our business successful.

Now, why a monkey? Monkeys are known for their playful energy, teamwork, and ability to get things done with a little fun along the way. Plus, the name “Grass Monkey” has some layers:
• It’s a playful twist on the familiar phrase “Grease Monkey,” giving it a sense of familiarity.
• It might remind you of that catchy Beastie Boys song (you’re singing it now, aren’t you?).
• And honestly, who doesn’t smile when they think of a monkey? 🐵

The logo? It’s inspired by the patas monkey, found in the grasslands of Africa. Did you know they’re the fastest primates in the world? That speed and efficiency felt like a perfect fit for what we strive to deliver to our customers every day.

Over the years, key milestones have helped shape Grass Monkey into what it is today. From building a loyal base of incredible clients to expanding our services and crew, every step has been about growth and teamwork. The name Grass Monkey serves as a constant reminder that success comes not from one person but from the collective effort of the entire team.

Thank you for being part of our journey—and next time you hear “Grass Monkey,” we hope it makes you smile just as much as we do!
